Spotify HiFi is basically a feature that will let us listen to music in much higher quality than what we get right now on regular Spotify. It will use something called FLAC<\/strong> (which stands for Free Lossless Audio Codec), and it will allow music to play in up to 24-bit \/ 44.1kHz quality<\/strong>. That\u2019s the same quality that CDs use, which means the audio won\u2019t be compressed or lose detail. This is something audiophiles and serious music lovers have been asking for, and it seems like Spotify is finally getting ready to deliver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Also read: Spotify: Stream-to-Listener Ratio Explained<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Now, Spotify hasn\u2019t made an official announcement yet, but some people who look into the code of Spotify apps have discovered hidden features and settings. These show that Spotify has already built this HiFi system into their app and they just haven\u2019t turned it on yet. There are settings for turning on lossless audio, warnings about how much data it might use (like up to 1GB per hour), and options to choose between different quality levels. These things are usually added only when a company is close to launching something. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s also interesting to see that this new feature is likely to be called something like Spotify Music Pro or HiFi Pro, and it will probably be an add-on or part of a higher subscription tier. In other words, we\u2019ll need to pay a bit more each month to get it, maybe around $5 to $6 extra on top of our usual Premium plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Also read: How to See Your Spotify Wrapped: Your Personalized Music Journey<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Actually, Spotify first said they were working on HiFi all the way back in 2021. But then Apple Music<\/a> and Amazon Music<\/a> both launched lossless audio and they didn\u2019t even charge extra for it. That probably made Spotify pause their plans, because they didn\u2019t want to look bad by asking for more money for something others were giving for free. Also, there were rumors that they had some licensing and business issues that delayed everything. But now, it really looks like they\u2019ve figured it out and are getting ready to roll it out. (What Hi-Fi)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Personally, I think it will depend on how much you care about sound quality. If you usually listen to music with regular earbuds or over Bluetooth in the car, you might not notice a huge difference. But if you use wired headphones or a good speaker setup at home, you will probably enjoy the clearer, richer sound. I love listening to music where I can hear all the little details, like the breath of a singer or the soft strum of a guitar, so I\u2019m definitely going to try it once it launches.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHow do we know it’s coming soon?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Why didn\u2019t they launch it earlier?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
